Best camera deals to expect for Black Friday 2024: Offers on Canon, Sony, Polaroid and more

There’s something inherently magical about a mirrored box, which can take instantaneous snapshots of life and be kept forever. Photography has come leaps and bounds since its invention in the early 19th century, but the premise remains the same – capturing unforgettable moments. Kodak has always said it best.

Memory is priceless, but great cameras come with a big ‘ole pound sign followed by more numbers than we’d like. From mirrored to mirrorless, digital to film and audio/video to snapshot only, the choices are vastly varied and intimidatingly endless.

Luckily for photography enthusiasts both amateur and professional, Black Friday is just around the corner. This means behemoth bargains on cameras of all shapes, sizes, types and prices. We’re not talking about cameras only either. Expect deals on accessories such as tripods, gimbals, straps, cases and even hard-to-source film for vintage cameras and Polaroids.

When is Black Friday 2024?

Every year Black Friday takes place the weekend following Thanksgiving. This year, American Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 28, which means that Black Friday begins on Friday, November 29.

When does Black Friday end?

Though Black Friday technically used to be a 24-hour sales period, the advent of online shopping has allowed the sales extravaganza to extend over the weekend. It’s followed by Cyber Monday on December 2, during which bargain hunters can expect even more deals on all things tech across the little remaining stock.

Why is it called Black Friday?

One such reason is that retailers across the globe who have been struggling to meet profit margins shift from being ‘in the red’ to ‘in the black’. Before the days of Excel spreadsheets, accountants would update financial data in ledgers with red ink for a negative balance, and black ink for a positive one.
